(from the Airlock Alpha website)

Source: Airlock Alpha The departure of David Tennant from "Doctor Who" has resonated more with this year's International Nominating Committee than the departure of "Lost" from ABC.

Barely.

"Doctor Who" becomes the first show other than "Battlestar Galactica" in the past five years to lead all nominees in this year's Airlock Alpha Portal Awards, earning six nominations including Best Series/Television and a Best Actor/Television nod to Tennant.

Leaving the show in "End of Time," which also is up for Best Episode/Television, Tennant broke a Portal Awards record generating the most support ever from a nominating committee. His candidacy for Best Actor drew 77 points from the nominating committee, more than any other nominee in the 11-year history of the awards. - That is fabulous!!

Unlike "Battlestar Galactica," however, no single show completely dominated the awards. In fact, four shows split up 20 awards. "Fringe" on Fox and "Lost" both earned five nominations each, while "Torchwood" picked up four nominations. All four shows will complete for Best Series/Television against Syfy's "Stargate: Universe," which edged out "Caprica" in voting to round out that list.

While who made the final list might be interesting, what's even more fascinating is who didn't make it. "Supernatural" on The CW -- which won the major categories last year including Best Actor/Television for Jensen Ackles, and Best Series/Television, didn't earn a single nomination this year. SGU was tied with "Caprica" and Fox's "Dollhouse" for three nominations each, while "Smallville" earned two and six other shows -- "Chuck," "Eureka," "FlashForward," "Sanctuary," "Warehouse 13" and "V" -- picking up one each.

"Warehouse 13," Syfy's highest-rated original series, got its lone nomination in Best Actor/Television for Eddie McClintock, who will face Tennant, John Barrowman from "Torchwood," Matthew Fox from "Lost" and Zachary Levi from "Chuck."

BBC also was a big winner, picking up 10 nominations, although Syfy was closely behind with nine. Fox had eight, ABC 7, The CW 2 and NBC 1. CBS was the only major network that did not have a final nominee in the Portal Awards list.

In movies, both "Avatar" and "Kick-Ass" tied with four nominations each, while "Iron Man 2" earned three nominations, and both "District 9" and "Moon" two each.

Voting for the 2010 Portal Awards begins June 25 here at Airlock Alpha. Readers will be allowed to vote once per day for 30 days.

Although Karen Gillan, the new companion for "Doctor Who," is up for Best Actress/Television, new series star Matt Smith did not make the final cut. Gillan is up against Paula Malcomson from "Caprica," Eve Myles of "Torchwood," Amanda Tappin of "Sanctuary."

The newest category is the Rod Serling Award, honoring classic science-fiction that has been off the air for at least 10 years. The charter class for this award including the original "Twilight Zone," the award's namesake creation, the original "Doctor Who" and the original "Star Trek."

Looking to join that class is "Babylon 5," "Quantum Leap," "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine," "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Twin Peaks."

Winners will be announced in August.
